An officer followed Roberts for less than a mile, when the chase ended in the 7400 block of Summer Avenue, near Rusch Park. Roberts drove the Ford SUV into a residential driveway, but investigators determined Roberts had no association with the home, police said.

A witness saw and heard the involved officer yelling commands at Roberts and then heard the sound of gunshots, according to detectives.

The officers radioed that shots were fired and that Roberts was hit. Other officers arrived within minutes. It was discovered that Robert suffered a gunshot wound to his torso, police said.

There is no word on what Roberts did that led the officer to fire his weapon.

Roberts was initially taken to a hospital with what were believed to be non-life-threatening gunshot wounds, but Roberts' condition was later downgraded to critical condition, officials said.

The officer who shot Roberts was not hurt and was placed on paid administrative leave, per department policy.

Roberts is being investigated for felony evading in a motor vehicle and driving under the influence, police said. Additional charges could be sought.

Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to call the Citrus Heights Police Department at 916-727-5500.
